Matte lacquer finish trouble
I am in the process of finishing a engraving on a sharps 74. I have been trying to use Matte Lacquer as a finish. I have seen this done by Ron smith and other to create a very attractive finish. However, when I tried it the finish was very dark and it obstructed the engraving to a great degree. The can of lacquer I had was a few years old but still seemed to function pretty well. The finish did not look at all like most of the ones Iv 'e seen. Is there more than one source for bake on matte lacquer or what ? Can anybody give me some advise on this ??
Gloss really looks bad on this gun.

Jerry, is that Brownells bake-on lacquer you are using? That is what I understand Ron was using.

Yes it is Brownell's I have never been able to find any other brand that is bake on. I would like to find some other than an aerosol can. Then it could be thinned to shoot in a detail gun or airbrush. Sam I was an old Car painter just like you do. I used to restore T Birds.
